Job Description

Location: 2 positions total: 2 onshore Dallas or Jersey City.

Overview: We are seeking an experienced Apigee API Platform Development Engineer to lead the design, security, and management of our APIs and API gateway platform. In this role, you will leverage deep expertise in Apigee API traffic management, REST API security patterns (Basic Auth, OAuth 2.0, mTLS), and CDN integration (Akamai) to ensure our APIs are scalable, secure, and high-performing. You will also play a key role in Apigee architecture oversight and spearhead our transition from Apigee Edge to Apigee Hybrid deployment. The ideal candidate is a Senior API Platform Engineer with 8+ years of experience (including substantial Apigee Edge/Hybrid experience) in building enterprise-grade API management solutions, designing robust API proxies and flows, and implementing advanced security and traffic-control policies.

  • Experience: 8+ years of software engineering experience with at least 5 years focused on API management and Google Apigee platform (Apigee Edge and/or Apigee Hybrid). Proven track record of designing, developing, and optimizing large-scale API solutions using Apigee in enterprise environments.
  • Apigee Expertise: Hands-on mastery of Apigee Edge and Apigee Hybrid. Deep understanding of Apigee’s core architecture and components – e.g. Edge Management Server, Router, Message Processor, Analytics services, Developer Portal, Cassandra data store, ZooKeeper coordination, etc. Ability to configure and troubleshoot the full Apigee stack, from API proxy design, shared flow development and tracing, to underlying platform services.
  • API Security & Networking: Strong knowledge of REST API security standards and protocols. Must be well-versed in OAuth 2.0 (client credentials, authorization code flows), JSON Web Tokens (JWT), API key management, TLS/mTLS encryption, and implementing authentication/authorization policies in Apigee. 

͏

  • Akamai & Edge Services: Demonstrated experience working with Akamai CDN or similar edge delivery networks in conjunction with an API gateway. Ability to design and debug request flows that involve an external CDN layer (handling domain mappings, caching rules, request/response transformations) passing traffic to Apigee. Understanding of how to utilize edge networks for improving API performance and security (e.g., offloading traffic, enabling geo-distribution, implementing mTLS between Akamai and Apigee).
  • Cloud & DevOps Skills: Familiarity with Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure (GCP, AWS, or Azure) is required, especially for working with Apigee Hybrid deployments. Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) and understanding how Apigee Hybrid’s management plane and runtime plane operate in a K8s environment. Strong DevOps/Automation skills: proficiency in CI/CD pipelines, scripting, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/Helm) to automate Apigee deployments and configuration.
  • API & Web Services Development: Solid grasp of RESTful API design principles and best practices in building scalable web services. Proficiency in at least one programming or scripting language (JavaScript, Java, Python, etc.) for writing custom Apigee policies (JavaScript/Node.js, Java callouts) or automating tasks. Familiarity with microservices architecture and frameworks (e.g., Java Spring Boot or Node.js for backend services) is a plus, as Apigee often integrates with microservice backends.
  • Problem-Solving & Communication: Excellent troubleshooting skills to diagnose complex API issues across the entire request lifecycle – from client to Apigee to backend. Able to analyze API logs, debug policies, and use Apigee’s tracing/analytics tools to quickly identify issues in traffic flow or performance. Strong communication skills are essential – must be able to work cross-functionally with developers, operations, security, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into robust API solutions. Proven ability to document designs, processes, diagrams, and guidelines for both technical and non-technical audiences (e.g., API documentation, security guidelines).
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field is required. A Master’s degree in a relevant field is a plus.
